Time for this sort of commentary to stop.

GatewayPundit: 

WOW! Dr. Fauci Admits He and Dr. Birx Were the Two ‘Experts’ Who Persuaded Trump to Kill the Economy with Their Garbage Predictions of 2.2 Million Deaths!

Editor: Say what you will about Dr. Fauci  but I do not believe that Dr. Birx is a hater or socialist working to do what she can to take down this once great nation.  

Some of us know that "modeling" does not work,  but we use modeling in the absense of real-time data precisely because you have no real-time date.   Take weather forecasting for an  example ; it is solely dependent on weather modeling.  If the weatherman were to go on air and tell us,  "It will probably rain this week,  maybe before Saturday," we would have as much real-time information as forecasting "30% chance of rain tomorrow with increasing showers throughout the week."  And how often is it the case that the forecast was wrong?  But,  at least, we can make plans,  after all modeling is sometimes correct.  And so we made plans for fighting the virus, and in that preparation,  no doubt saved hundreds if not thousands of lives.

 The lesson is yours.
